The one who gets a nod goes wide-eyed (with just his one eye) and then hurriedly whispers to a companion. Did you see that?! She saw me! And was friendly!
Jesse, meanwhile, moseys through their shanty town, where even subway offices and standstill trains have been converted into homes, labs, a clinic. "We've got about 25 of us down here at present. We're all spread out between here and the rest of the subway into other cities; we've only just settled this homestead kinda recent. Month or two, I think?"
He stops when a much smaller zombie runs over to him, dragging a dirty doll. Once in front of him, she jumps up and down, wanting to be lifted. Laughing, Jesse bends down and obliges, putting the undead girl on his hip. She looks about 10, if one looks past the rot and missing lower half of her face. "Hey, Julie, y'all gonna say hi to our new friend, Blaze? She's gonna fix stuff and make the power work!" The girl gives Blaze a timid wave, then buries her face against Jesse's shoulder, which gets another laugh from him.

"She's shy."
